To be a champion for
our young people and be a catalyst for
systemic change in our schools, communities,
and cities through a dynamic process that
empowers youth and adults to become leaders
in their own lives, and partners in service
to theirown
communities.

Kidzamerica believes that at
the core of most of our social problems is a
sense of disconnection with our youth and
communities. That is why we have chosen to focus
on empowering and connecting our young people to
a powerful purpose in their own lives and in
service to their communities.

If our nation is going to continue to provide
positive influence on world affairs, we must
teach our children about a different world and
to appreciate the importance of their own
assumption of leadership on the world stage. We
cannot return to "business as usual." Our young
people will be the major players in our future,
and must be included in any vision of how to
build that future. Let our children become the
ambassadors for making a better world. So, not
only can such an environment be created, it must
be created…now more than ever. We consider this
effort to be the job of the entire community. We
believe that it can happen one community at a
time.
